Monster Hunter Tri

So, tomorrow is the day that Monster Hunter returns to the console since the PS2. Anyone else picking this tomorrow? Gamestop has my pre-ordered version waiting for me!

If you've played the demo, what did you think?

Being a huge fan of the franchise and having loved MH2 and Freedom Unite, I am thrilled to see this coming back to the console and can hardly wait for tomorrow!

Well, I think its safe to say that after playing the demo awhile back, I've come to the conclusion that I pretty much suck at video games, or am at least seriously out of practice. I couldn't even kill the easiest monster in the demo is how bad I was. They don't kid when they say this game is made FOR gamers.

In any case, I'm probably going to wait for it to drop to 50 or 40 before picking it up. I'm loving the visuals and the underwater fights but I just can't get out the nagging vibe that this game will hand my ass to me repeatedly if I don't get a few other opinions on it.

Keep in mind I'm also a newcomer to the franchise and I guess the difficulty is part of what people like about this series. I just don't care for aggravating games as much as I used to. On top of this, I've got a bunch of lame-ass friends who either don't own Wiis, sold them, or use them as paper weights and I guess this is one of those titles that's much more entertaining and fun with friends of yours.

In conclusion, I'll pick it up eventually, but not on launch day.

I'll be picking it up, but not starting it immediately. I still have Fragile Dreams to get through.

And Cursed Mountain.

... And Brutal Legend, and Condemned 2, and Strange Journey, and I still need to pick up Red Steel 2, and I never truly finished Muramasa, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Spirit Tracks, Punch-Out, Endless Ocean 2....

It looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure if I'll play it. Might just rent it sometime. Save my gaming $$$ for Mario Galaxy 2 and other awesome stuff.

Yeah man, the difficulty curve for this franchise has never been anything less than completely vertical . However, with online being a real option in this version, it really makes the game more fun AND it lowers the difficultly level a little bit if you're working with semi experienced people. Let's face it, the majority of the people playing this will be playing it because thy love the series!

Don't wait too long or everyone will be so high level that they won't want to play with you ;).

Man I'm in the same situation, but some friends of mine pre-ordered MHT too, so I've decided to do it, I'll be able to actually use WiiSpeak :D

Like many of you, I have the game pre-ordered and ready to pick up. However, I've got a crapton of homework to do this week and may not be able to play it until Friday at the earliest or so.

Can't wait though. I never beat either of the demo quests (though for the first quest, that was more lack of time than difficulty), but I had so much fun that I can't resist the final product.
